Sunday Times Celebrity Book of the Year 2010

High politics and heroic action combine in a stunning fantasy set at the end of empire, in the sequel to A Darkness Forged in Fire.

Rejected by their own kind for bearing the mark of the Shadow Monarch, the Iron Elves chose instead to serve with the human armies of the Calahrian Empire, hoping through their dedication and discipline to wipe out the stain of their birth. Their reputation is legendary -- until their commander, Konowa Swift Dragon, takes it upon himself -- for the best of reasons -- to assassinate the Viceroy. Court-martialled and exiled to the forest he despises, his beloved regiment disgraced, dishonoured and disbanded, Konowa finds himself suddenly recalled and ordered to re-form the Iron Elves for one last reconnaissance mission. But the new Iron Elves are not at all the same as they were before, and the mission is a suicidal one, with more at stake than Konowa could possibly have imagined. For the Shadow Monarch and her allies have harnessed destructive forces with the power to tear worlds apart -- and those who bear her mark have a destiny greater than they know. So begins an heroic journey in the company of a motley band of misfits, rebels and outcasts, with a central character whose engaging, brilliantly realised blend of cynicism, dry humour, duty and anguish make him unlike any other in fantasy fiction.

"Dream makers features the pictures of six working fantasy artists who are famous in their fields. Though their styles and subject matter differ greatly, their ideas and images go beyond realism into the landscapes of dreams, nightmares and imagined futures."--BOOK JACKET.

"'Where do you get your ides?' is often the first question asked of illustrators who deal in images of the future or in the fantastic. Through in-depth interviews with today's top fantasy artists and using exquisite color and black-an-white illustrations -- including many special commissioned paintings and sketches -- this unique book provides a range of fascinating answers to this question. The origin of fantasy ideas and their transformation into art and the relationship between imagination, image, and technique are explored through the inspirations and working methods of artists such as illustrators Jim Burns, Ian Miller, and Patrick Woodroffe, airbrush wizard Philip Castle, industrial designer and illustrator Syd Mead, space hardware expert Chris Foss, film set modelmaker Martin Bower, and fantasy artist Boris Vallejo."--Jacket
